Brock Lesnar may have proudly announced to the world on ESPN that he was committing his future to World Wrestling Entertainment recently, but that hasn't always been the case for the man. In 2004, Lesnar informed a shell-shocked Vince McMahon that he was quitting the company, tired of the constant travel and being away from home for extended periods. Telling his flabbergasted boss that he was going to try and carve a career for himself in American Football, Brock would eventually wind up in UFC, creating a very fruitful career for himself in Mixed Martial Arts and enhancing his reputation in the process. Returning to WWE in 2012, a lot of fans felt the arrangement would be short-lived, but the beast-like hulk of a man has went from strength-to-strength. Even recently however, there were heavy rumours of a tiff between Lesnar and McMahon, likely related around pay and scheduling. Brock, for his part, has always maintained that he doesn't want to be on the road full-time, but that sometimes seems to cloud his vision over WWE's own needs.
